Daddy's Girl

Dear Lilia,

I know, I know.  The last time I wrote, you had decided that you liked Mommy the best, but apparently you changed your mind rather quickly (gee, I wonder who you got THAT from?).  Now you seem to have settled on me.  Let me explain how Mommy and I know this.

It started about two weeks ago during the weekend.  You seemed to be smiling at me a lot more and laughing with me.  Then it gradually turned into doing OK at home with Mommy during the work week and then you started to fuss and give Mommy a hard time while I was at work.  When I would come home each time this happened, you would pretty much stop crying and be content for the rest of the night.

I think the part that drives Mommy nuts though is that you seem to think it's not OK to sleep when I'm not home.  She'll put you down for naps (so that she can get some rest) and then you'll proceed to only sleep for about 20 minutes.  On the other hand, if I'm home and I tell Mommy to get some rest and that I'll take care of you, you fall asleep and proceed to stay asleep for the next two hours.

Don't get me wrong, I like getting this special treatment, but I think you need to give Mommy a break when I'm not around. 

Love,
Daddy
